Subject: [PATCH] doc: clarification for hashing git checkouts
Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2016 17:54:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160710215438.15418.98984@what> (raw)
When hashing git checkouts of packages, packagers must first remove the .git
directory. This commit adds this clarification to the "Invoking guix hash"
page in the documentation.
